Projects
Medicine never stops changing and improving, meaning education and training must keep pace. Our wide-ranging projects tackle any subject which may impact on education now and in the future.
Results of the 2019 national training surveys now live
You can now view the results of the 2019 national training surveys. More than 75,000 doctors in training and trainers took part this year, and you can read our initial findings report to discover key trends across the UK. You can also use our online reporting tool to find out what you and your colleagues thought about your site and specialty.
Our current projects
Differential attainment
Differential attainment is what we call the gap between attainment levels of different groups of doctors. It's an indicator that training and medical education may not be fair. Find out more about the work we are doing about this.
Medical Licensing Assessment
Find out about our plans to establish a Medical Licensing Assessment to ensure doctors joining the medical register with a licence to practise meet a common threshold for safe practice.
Credentialing
We are considering a new process called credentialing to recognise doctors’ capabilities in particular practice areas. The main purpose of this new framework will be to protect patients and make sure that future healthcare developments are safe and effective.
Promoting flexibility in postgraduate training
In 2016 we began a review of flexibility in postgraduate medical training, working with stakeholders to find solutions to current barriers to flexibility.
Survey of specialty and associate specialist SAS and locally employed LE doctors
We’ve launched our first survey of specialty and associate specialists (SAS) and locally employed doctors (LEDs), which will be open until Wednesday 12 June to complete. Through this survey, we aim to gather a rich and robust source of data, so we can widen our understanding of this critical part of the medical workforce.
